Adaptive Sports seats
Discussion
Is it just me, or do others find the adaptive sports sets not particularly comfortable?
I took the turbo on its first real drive last friday to Brussels and back via the tunnel, and for the life of me I just couldn't get the seat set up to be comfortable!
if anything, there are too many adjustment options which make it so difficult to get the position 'just right'
Really wish I'd gone for the standard seats now.....

Ditto the others - the amazing range of adjustments means that (for me) these are the most comfortable seats I've ever had in a car! 
My advice is sit stationary with the ignition on - put the seat all the way back on it's lowest setting - flat with no tilt, lumbar, with thigh and torso bolsters wound all the way out. Gradually move in and up to what feels good. Sit in it for a couple of minutes, play with the radio etc, save the setting in your non preferred slot (e.g. number 2 or 3) and take it for a spin! You can always move it back to your previous setting ..... assuming your current settings are in number 1!

As a company director I need the most powerful seats you can get.
On a serious note, what are all the different types of buckets you can get now. As I understand it, there are 964RS/993RS type (basically Recaro PPs right?), 996/997 GT3 buckets, carbon Carrera GT buckets, Boxster Spyder / Cayman R buckets and folding buckets. And they are all distinct! Is that correct or did I miss one?

I insisted on adaptive sport seats in my current 997 as I found the seats in my 987 Boxster uncomfortable on journeys of 2 hours plus. It did take me a few months to get the nuances of tilt, position, steering wheel position etc exactly how I like it, and it is comfortable, but no more so on long drives. Thinking an XKR might be better.

You might have hit the nail on the head.My last car was a 2011 xkr, and the seats were awesome!
Maybe I am expecting too much from the Porsche seats!
